Felt good today. One of the rare days I can do stuff like that. Thanks you good baby jesus lyin' in a manger.

If you didn't live in a Capitlist shithole, no one would have to work on the holidays

Does your country have no police or emergency response on holidays?

You sure you're not in the real shithole?

>tfw blowing the doors off a 900hp Corvette in my EG hatch with a few simple mods

Yeah they're wonder what's making that faggy sound or if they realized it's a car they're wondering how much of a loser someone is blow up their ebay turbo in front of a highschool

Not to say there aren't exceptions, but I hear commercials on the radio, like one for Walgreens right now that boasts that they're open on Christmas, when really they should be shamed for putting their workers between a rock and a hard place.

If you didn't live in a communist shithole you would actually have holidays.

You are now aware most places will pay double or triple overtime for big holidays like Christmas

They get double pay bare minimum. Don't be sorry for them when they probably aren't sorry for themselves. I've signed up to work Holidays for that sweet $34/hour

No, no, no, no, no.

Yes they do are you retarded?

>the evil capitalism narrative is failing!

Let me guess, you've got 348 front wheel HP?

1.5x is common down here in texas for hourly workers

How could someone driving an M3 not know anything about a 335i

Not in Murrica but here it's by law that you get paid to work 1.5x on holidays. When I was a grocery store working faggot a lot of the people working holidays volunteer because their families would do Christmas dinner on another day so they'd get to see their families then make a half decent cheque that month for holiday work.

they only see the badge.

>tfw when I rev back I might as well burn rubber.

>they try and pass me but then I slide into 10th gear and pull from 45mph to 70mph in like a second flat and cut them off

This is my fetish.

That wasn't your race.

That wasn't your car.

It was never your car.

AY Lmao

Reminds me of this story

>fart cannons

>his girl seems embarrassed
>lights go green
>he guns it
>give him a two car length advantage
>punch it, spool dat turbo
>pull on him and overtake like there's no tomorrow
He learned the hard way. The GT Liberty looks like a normal Liberty from the back and the bonnet scoop is pretty subtle. Probably thought it was NA

This They are both often poorly tuned by fags who think they are fast and struggle to idle properly.

No. The SRT is basically an AMG. But the Civic driver thought he had a chance, and that was the funny part.

I did smoke a lot of Civics with fartcans when I had my Explorer. I just don't understand how people think those cars are fast.

I got 16 hours of PTO plus time and a half for working the day before and the day after the holidays.

Today when I was driving home I hit an animal.
I was doing maybe 25 mph because speed cam, about to make a turn when out of nowhere something jump in front of my car. I kind of panicked and countered, so it just nicked my bumper. I have no idea what it was, a cat, a dog or a racoon, who the fuck knows. It probably ran off afterwards because I stopped to see what the hell happened, and it was nowhere to be seen. The road was fucking dark as shit, no lights whatsoever. I just hope that little fuck is ok, I've felf guilty since I came home an hour ago ;_; Also broke my fucking bumper, but luckily there was no blood so i guess its alright.

>ride shitbox in rainy weather
>someone starts tailgating me
>liftoff-oversteer a few times
>they stop tailgaiting

I think you will find that civics come in many trim levels. "Honda with vtec" could mean anything from a 70hp single cam non-vtec LHD shitbox to a 217hp type r that weighs just over a tonne and has a better power to weight ratio than a v8 vf commodore

This happened to me today. I took a 20 minute detour to get away from somebody I pissed off unintentionally.

Sometimes the only saving grace is that you won't see these people again and you get to start anew each time.

>someone has been tailgating me in a 50 zone
>am first at next lights with him behind
>intentionally fuck up the 1st - 2nd shift so I lose all momentum and make him come to a near stop in the middle of the intersection

>stitchthatshit.png

I did yo
I just feel shitty about hitting the animal

glorious

>wake up
>get in car
>it doesn't break down

essentially my daily hopes and dreams

>tfw car isn't fast

I worked captioning phone calls for the deaf for a while. I pulled double pay AND I helped people communicate with their families on Christmas day. Yup, having the holiday off would have been better.

Sounds kinda mundane now, but I felt like a legend atm.

Pretty much.

It's always so much more epic in person, right?

I got double time plus christmas bonus, earned something like 300 dollars on Christmas

Dem feels

Some opposite feels

>anxiety starts recurring for the next two months every time I think about her

Cruising around endlessly was the only thing that kept me sane

>Cruising around endlessly was the only thing that kept me sane

I feel you. I did the same thing after a bad breakup a few years ago, and back then the only thing I could afford to maintain was a 110cc semi-auto scooter.
I even road-tripped that thing. Made me appreciate the world and myself a little more each time.

Dem feels user, you're right. It helps you get your focus off what happened and remain in the moment.

Tfw you drive a diesel, and a p plater in a commodore beside revs you and you best it.

>p plate commodore / XR6's

My favourite victims. Usually cocky bogans and wogs behind the wheel, it's always good to knock their ego down a peg or two.

>doing less than 60 on a 25 zone

How do I know you live in [[[[[freedumland]]]]]?

Tfw I'm also a delivery driver and basicly everyone I work with is a dickhead/hoon

Random Driving Feels: Christ, I Suck Edition
Stalled out THREE times trying to do a simple hill start in a multistorey, then completely failed to help a woman at a petrol station with opening her bonnet.
I'm genuinely ashamed.

>tfw too stupid to learn anything about fixing/modifying cars
to compensate i've gotten into detailing but I still feel empty inside. I couldn't do anything even if I knew anything (automatic honda fit)
